Children travelling alone

Children between the ages of 5 and 15 years (up to but not including the 16th birthday) can travel alone. Your child will be received at the originating airport, taken care of throughout the journey and will be handed over to the person designated by the parents/guardians upon arrival at the final destination.

Children under 5 years will not be accepted to travel alone.

Escort service for children travelling alone

Qatar Airways offers an escort service for children travelling alone. An airline representative dedicated for this purpose will accompany your child throughout the journey. To avail this service, the age of the child has to be between 5 and 15 years (up to but not including the 16th birthday). The escort service is not offered for children under 5 years old. Qatar Airways will charge a return fare for the airline representative who will act as an escort for your child. The request for an escort must be made at least 72 hours prior to flight departure. To request this service for your child travelling alone, please contact your local Qatar Airways office.

1. Explain the travel process
   Travelling will be much easier if your child knows what to expect.
2. Arrive early
   Check-in early to reserve a window seat. Watching the world from 11,000 m (35,000 ft) is fascinating for a child.
3. Prepare your child for takeoff and landing
   Children’s ears are more sensitive to changes in pressure than adult ears. To prevent discomfort during take off and landing, we suggest giving infants a bottle and children some gum or a sweet to suck.
4. Don’t forget the essentials
   While we do offer supplies and entertainment onboard, your child will enjoy the flight even more if you remember to bring some toys, books, games, wet wipes, and other necessities.
5. Ask our cabin crew for assistance
   They’ll be happy to help.
